AHied Premiers Slice Pieces Off

What to Oo With Them.
IDISAGREE ABOUT GERMANY
French Don't Like Lloyd George's
: "EconomicPr»saur«" ideas—Admin
istration date Two Slapa In State
Primaries—Senator Johnson
Wine In
j By EDWARD W. PICKARD
With President Wilson, and conse
quently the Unltwd States, represented
jooly by an "observer" In the person of
Ambassador Johnson, the. allied su
preme counci In session at San Remo
I decided that Turkey should be sliced
|«p to • considerable extent, and that
Germany mnst observe the treaty
terms. A* general propositions that
sounded all right, but when It came to
| the necessary details there was woe-1
ful vagueness, so far- as the corre
spondents could learn. Take the case I
of Turkey. The treaty with that coun-l
try was substantially completed anil'
the Turkish representatives notified 1
to be In Paris on May 10, to accept It
The "big three" decided that seven
big pieces should be severed from the
sultan's empire—Armenia, Mesopota
mia, Clllcla, Syria, Palestine, Georgia
and Azerbeldjan—but .the future of
these territories Is left for the future
to determine. Mo one of the nations
of Europe so far has signified a will
ingness to accept a mandate for any
part of Asia Minor, though several of
them are determined to cling to ports
and zones of Influence. The League of
Nations declined to take charge of Ar
j menla because It has neither the
I money nor the .means of action. The
' United States, on which the Armenians
relied and which they still hope will
come to their rescue, carf do nothing at
present When Great Britain, France
and Italy are able to act as a unit, or
when the league of nations Is able to
function, the destiny of the small na
tions freed from the Turk may be set
tled. Meanwhile Turkey Is merely re
quired to relinquish sovereignty over
them, as was the case with Austria
and the regions along the Adriatic.
The supreme council, it Is said, will
ask Sweden and Norway to help the
Armenians to establish a free state,
and from Amsterdam comes the news
that the Dutch would be willing to
take ovsr that job. If necessary, Can-
I ada Is willing to accept the mandate,
I-ord Curton aays. ,
Politely disregarding President Wll
! son's protest the allied premiers have
GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. APRIL S». 1920
' decided that the sultan shall be per
mitted to retain Constantinople,
though the Dardanellea are to be In
ternationalised and other precautions
wilt be taken te render him harmless
there. His territory will not extend
far into Europe, for Adrianople and
Klrk-Klllse are given to Greece, as Is
Galllpoll though It will be controlled
by allied forces. The only outlet to
the Aegean for Dulgarla will be De
deagatch, which will be governed by
an International commission.
There are now In Turkey some 200,-
000 allied troops nnd 6reeee Is la s
position to send heavy reinforcements,
so It Is believed the Turks will do
whatever the allies require.
Lexington.—P. L. Freesor, the su
perintendent of public welfare In this
county, is calling the parents to ac
oount for Irregularity aa to their chil
dren's attendance at school.
Reldsvllle.—Four hundred and eigh
ty-four conversions and reclamations
as a result of the Culpepper revival, la
an index to the extent Reldaville and
Rockingham county have been stirred.
Charlotte. —For the death of George
•rltt, May 20, 1917, in an automofclle
accident, a jury in superior court
awarded to M. E. Britt. administra
tor, M.SOO damages against H. B.
Morris and wife formerly of Holly
Springs.
In the matter of enforcing the trea
ty with Oermsny the discord among
tlie allied premiers la especially
marked. They all agree that tin Ger
mane must observe the terms of tbe
pact, and bare ao notified Berlin. Bat
what ilepa aball be takes In case tbe
German* are disobedient? There's the
rub. Lloyd George Insists that eco
nomic pressure, In tbe form of cutting
off supplies of food and materlale. will
be sufficient, and In thla he has had
the support of Nlttl. lllllerand, on the
other linnd, nnaerts that military ac
tion. such ss the French took recently
In the niter of the Buhr region, le
the proi>er method and Indeed the only
Method that will make the Germans
behave. Backed by the political, press
and public opinions of France, ha
aays Germany must be compelled to
carry out her pledges to the limit, and
he does not believe she will do this un
less she knows the penalty for eva
sion will be the military occupation of
more German territory.
At thla distance one Is Inclined to
Sympathize with the French view.
Since It Is perfectly easy for Germany
to get food from the neighboring neu
tral countries with the enthusiastic co
operation of their merchants, and raw
materials from the same and other
sources, Lloyd George's pressure Drob-
ably would be farcical In • measure.
;The Germans hare not carried oat the
terms of disarmament, and now they
are formally asking that they be per
mltted to retain an army of 200,000
with the entire general ataff and corps
of officers. They assert that this force
Is necessary to maintain order In the
.interior, and that, anyway, the army
will not accept an order for its dlsaoln
.tion. The French, like many others,
.probably look with skepticism on the
frequently recurring ("revolutions" In
'Germany, and certainly they feel that
the Germans are not to be trusted for
a minute. The British view of the
treaty of Versailles differs radically
from that of the French, and If the
Lloyd George government has Ita way
that pact will before long b« greatly
modified In favor of the beaten foe.
France Is neither so forgiving nor so
eager for trade that she wishes to re
store Germany speedily to her old com
mercial status.
Despite existing differences snd the
hopes of Berlin, It Is probable the al
lied premiers will come to an amicable
understanding before long. Indeed
that result may have been reached be
fore this review reaches the reader. It
Is Impossible to guess what will be
the Influence of President Wilson's
views In the settlement of the pend
ing problems.
The proclamation of an Independent
republic in Siberia east of Lake Bai
kal may serve to simplify conditions
there, and it is believed It will be ree
ognlscd by the soviet government at
Moscow. Io that case there would be
left little excuse for further occupa
tion of Siberian territory by tbe Jap
anese or any other foreign nation.
Since President Wilson has made
tbe peace treaty a main Issue of tbe
campaign. It must be admitted that be
suffered two rather severe set-backs
In tbe state primaries of last week.
,In- Nebraska, William Jennings Bry
an, advocate of reservations, was
elected a delegate to tbe convention In
iSan Francisco, despite the utmost en
deavors of Senator Hitchcock and the
administration forcea to keep him at
home. The prohibition question en
tered largely Into the light, for Bryan
• had declared his Intention of putting
a bone-dry plank In the Democratic
platform and of routing the faction,
led by Governor Edwards, which fa
vors tbe modification of the prohibi
tion legislation so that tbe use of mild
ly alcoholic drinks may be restored.
Hitchcock had openly sided with the
Edwards view. Tbe Peerless One does
not Intend that his party shsll side
step the matter. The result In Nebras
ka was effected by tbe action of vast
numbers of women who, though not
formerly active members of the Dem
ocratic party, registered as Democrats
so aa to vote for Bryan and dryness.
Senator Hitchcock was given the
state's preferential vote for the presi
dency, whatever that may be worth.
The othet- blow to the administratis
forces was delivered by the Democrats
of Georgls, where support of the pres
ident snd his peace tresty policy was
the main Issue. To be sure Attorney
General Palmer, leading the Wilson
contingent and standing for uncondi
tional acceptance of the treaty, wai
victorious; but Senator Hoke Smith,
supporter of ratification with reserva
tions, and Tom Watson, opponent of
the treaty and league covenant, to
gether received n vote nearly twice
that given Palmer. Watson led Palm
er In the popular vote by several thou
sand. It seems the treaty ss It stamM
Is not really popular In Georgia, and
the same Is true In other parts of tho
south.
Seaatr.- lllrani Johnson, whose pre
convention campaign Is making the
other Republican aspirants sit up and
take notice, followed up his Michigan
victory by capturing Nebraska. Gen
eral Wood ran second for the state's
preference and General Pershing was
a rather poor third. It is said the
Germans, who In the psst have always
supported Hitchcock, went Into the
Republican primaries almost aolldly
for Johnson, and that he also was giv
en the Irish vote.
The Democratic national executive
committee, In session In Chicago, se
lected Homer 8. Cummlngs, chairman
of the national committee, as tempo-
rary chairman and keynote sounder of
the San Francisco convention. He wis
the choice of the administration and
wm choeen unanimously. B. O. Hoff
men of Indiana, national tlcs Chair*
man, wQI can the convention to Or
der, and, of coarse, old Colonel Martin
will be sergeant-at-arma, as ususl.
The Republican national committee
will not name the temporary officers
of tbe Chicago convention until next
month, bat already there la a strong
movement to make former Senator.
Albert J. Beverldge temporary chair
man and keynoter. It Is believed 8«n
--ators Lodge and Borah would . with
draw In favor of the Indiana man.
The new national board of railway
labor at Its flrst session adopted a
rule of procedure that put the finish
ing touches to the "outlaw" strike of
switchmen snd thst will serve to dis
courage similar demonstrations In tbe
future. In effect, this rnle Is that the
board will not consider complaints
from sny persona who at the time are
Impeding transportation. At once the
bottom fell oat of the strike, which
was on the point of collapsing, any
how. Daring tbe week the leaders of
the switchmen tried to have the strike
called off, but the men accused them
of selling them oat Many of the tat
ter quietly sought their old places.
The others must now obtain re-em
ployment ss new hands, having for
feited their seniority rights. Traffic
conditions in Chicago, New Tork snd
other ceoters were Improved, bat not
yet eotlrely restored. Along the Jer
sey City wster front 700 freight han
dlers who had been on strike returned
to work, their demsnd for |9 a day
having been granted.
A serious fight took place at Butte,
Mont., between striking 1. W. W. min
ers snd a sheriff's posse. In which
one msn wss killed and 14 wounded.
Governor Stewart was so alarmed bj|
this and resulting dlsturbsnces that he
asked General Liggett, commanding
the western department, for federal
troops. A detachment of the Twenty
first Infantry was sent from Fort
Wright, Wssh.
